Design Intelligence Award 2023: Celebrating Innovation and Impact in Design
Awarding Creative Excellence
As the year 2023 winds down, the Design Intelligence Award (DIA) celebrates the most innovative and impactful designs of the year. The DIA, initiated by the China Academy of Art, recognizes products that significantly improve our lives. The award, which is free to enter, undergoes a rigorous three-phase evaluation process to highlight designs with substantial benefits for humanity. With a goal to foster global connections, the DIA also strengthens the Global East’s impact on the global design stage. A substantial prize fund of ¥5 million RMB (approximately $704,600 USD) is dedicated to turning exceptional ideas into reality.
International Jury Selects Top Innovators
An international panel of experts from 37 countries selects 30 groundbreaking projects that stand out for their innovation and societal impact. Winners share the ¥5 million RMB prize fund, with the top project receiving ¥1 million RMB. They are also invited to the DIA Award Ceremony for networking opportunities and attend D-WILL expert lectures. This recognition includes a PR campaign to bring their work to a broader audience. Among the top trends in the 2023 awards are personal robots, prosthetics, electric vehicles (EVs), and a decline in self-driving technology.
